Good morning Dave and everyone

Starlings!!

lee greenwood?

It’s too fucking early for anti American political commentary.

@TAndy, no theme

good morning, Rob from MD

So fucking annoying with the political and social commentary here made by anyone about anything

@ Dale, yes, Otal incorporates nature sounds

good morning ǝʌɐꓷ and my PRB Pals!

good morning, Stevie P

Beautiful soundscape we’re having today ☕️ 🌞

good morning, goots

Mornin Stevie and Goots

Happy Mayday everyone!

i apologize mrmalcontent. but it's pro american, anti nazi germany circa 1935.

yes, sometimes we need a refuge from the relentless awful news

a reminder that good culture can still exist

This track is amazing and it’s fun that he’s from west orange. I believe Lauren hill is from there too

Reminder that it's also Bandcamp Friday, if you've been saving albums to buy like me, do it NOW

Based in west orange *

his name pops up all over the place

They should name a rest stop after him

Hahahaa yes TAndy

JFC 🤬 I woke up at 4 in the gotdamn morning for arguing bullshit here?! I didn’t. I don’t want nothin in these chats other than foolishness about the music being played. Don’t want it filled with off topic crap of any sort. The political and social commentary needs to stop. Is WPRB a SuperPAC? I do not endorse or support even the sly song/album selection that’s pushing propaganda. I’m not here looking for a moral compass.

@ MrM, I hope to provide what you seek this morning

You’re swell, DJ DaveTheObscure 💟

No, YOU arrrrrrr 💜

You’re right. And also YOU❣️🖤
